
That your faith should not stand
in the wisdom of men, but in the
power of God.
 Cor. 2:5
1


Major Premise
 God is Omnipotent (all

powerful), Omniscient (all knowing)
and Omnipresent (everywhere at
once). Man CANNOT come, even
remotely close; regardless of his
intellect, education (read
University degrees), knowledge
and experience.

 Therefore, we start with God,
not with man and we bring
science to the Bible and measure
it by God‘s standard, not vice
versa


Three Premises
•The theory must fit the Bible
•The theory must fit the existing
evidence
•The theory must follow the laws of
science


Purposes
for the
Theory for
Creation
1.To look at evidence for creation
from the point of view of Christians
who believe in God, the Bible and
Science.

 To
2.
strengthen
the faith of
the children
of God.

 First, I want to remind you that in
the last days there will be scoffers
who will laugh at the truth and do
every evil thing they desire. This will
be their argument: ―Jesus promised
to come back, did he? Then where is
he?

 Why, as far back as anyone can
remember, everything has remained
exactly the same since the world was
first created.‖ They deliberately forget
that God made the heavens by the
word of his command, and he brought
the earth up from the water and
surrounded it with water.

 Then he used the water to destroy
the world with a mighty flood. And
God has also commanded that the
heavens and the earth will be
consumed by fire on the day of
judgment, when ungodly people will
perish. 2 Peter 3:3 – 7 New Living
Translation (NLT)

 To plant a seed in the minds
3.
of young people.

 To present a Biblically based,
4.
scientifically accurate explanation
of the existing evidence.

1. To show that God is the Author
and Designer of all scientific laws.

 ―for as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways
higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts‖ Is.
55:9.

 ―…avoiding profane [and] vain
babblings, and oppositions of
science falsely so called.‖ 1 Tim.
6:20


Creator vs Created

Is God superior to man?
Omnipotent?
Omniscient?
Omnipresent?
Could any man be given such
attributes?


What does the Bible have to say?

1 Corinthians 3:19-21 (NKJV)
19 For the wisdom of this world is
foolishness with God. For it is
written, “He catches the wise in
their own craftiness”; 20 and again,
“The Lord knows the thoughts of
the wise, that they are futile.” 21
Therefore let no one boast in men.
For all things are yours:

 Because the foolishness of
God is wiser than men; and the
weakness of God is stronger than
men.
 1 Cor. 1:25


John 5:43-44 (NKJV)
43
 I have come in My Father‟s
name, and you do not receive
Me; if another comes in his own
name, him you will receive. 44
How can you believe, who
receive honor from one another,
and do not seek the honor that
comes from the only God?
The New King James Version. 1982. Nashville: Thomas Nelson.


Science vs Science Falsely So
Called
•We must learn to distinguish
between true science and science
falsely so called.
•God is the author and designer of all
sciences and their individual laws.

 True science follows God‘s laws.
These are all true, objective,
testable, reliable (faithful), and
repeatable regardless of time or
place.

 Beware lest any man spoil
you through philosophy and vain
deceit, after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world,
and not after Christ. Col 2:8

 The Bible describes these as
false science

1.To show that the theory of
evolution began with Satan when
he turned against God.

1. To demonstrate that the 7 day
creation week is inextricably
linked to the 10 commandments
and the rest of the Bible.

 ―Remember to observe the
Sabbath day by keeping it holy....For
in six days the Lord made the
heavens, the earth, the sea, and
everything in them; then he rested
on the seventh day. That is why the
Lord blessed the Sabbath day and
set it apart as holy. Exodus 20:8 &
11 NLT.

John 1:1-5 (NKJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. 2 He was in the
beginning with God. 3 All things
were made through Him, and
without Him nothing was made that
was made.

4 In

Him was life, and the life was the


 Luke 16:31 (NKJV)
31
 But he said to him, „If they do
not hear Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded
though one rise from the dead.‟ ”

John 5:46-47 (NKJV)
46 For if you believed Moses, you
would believe Me; for he wrote
about Me. 47 But if you do not
believe his writings, how will you
believe My words?‖

 Jesus believed in the stories of
Creation (See Mark 10:6), of Noah
and the Flood (see Matt 24:37 –
39), of the creation of the first
couple (see Matt. 19:4). He quoted
Genesis 2:24 in Matthew 19:5.

bird related to gannets and
cormorants, but had a 4.6 meter (15‘)
wingspan.

 In the Miocene of Argentina, ―Big
Bird‖ was a somewhat vulture-like bird
with wings equivalent to those on a
Cessna airplane. Big Bird would weigh
approximately 90.7 Kg. (200 lbs.) and
while standing, could look a 1.8 meter (6‘)
man straight in the eye.

What questions do these fossils
raise?
•What is the largest land animal alive,
today?
•How much does it weigh?
•What allowed the megafauna and large
dinosaurs to survive before the flood?

•Why are they not alive today?
•Why are there no land animals larger
than the elephant alive today, when we
know that many much larger land
animals lived before the flood?


Conclusions

•Land animals larger than the
elephant cannot survive under
present atmospheric conditions.
•Therefore, things must have been
different before the flood.

Origin of the word Dinosaur
•The word ―dinosaur‖ was invented in 1842
by Sir Richard Owen. It means ―marvelous‖
or ―terrible‖ lizard. What were they called
before then? -- Dragons
•Dragon legends occur in China, Peru,
England and many other places around the
world.

Do
Breathing Dragons?

•Do you believe in the Bible?
•What do we do with Leviathan in
Job 41?
•Job 41 describes a fire breathing
sea dragon!

•Leviathan is mentioned 4 times in
the KJV. The whole chapter of Job
41 is devoted to it.
•Ps. 74:14 & Ps. 104:26 so
apparently David knew about and
believed in it
•Is. 27:1 apparently Isaiah knew
about and believed in it.

•God implies that He made Leviathan
in Job 41.

Physics of the Flood
•NO RAIN up until the flood. The
Rainbow and Genesis 2:5, 6.
•What causes rain or precipitation?

 Precipitation of any kind is
caused by air cooling down.
Whether it is the meeting of air
masses with one of them having a
different temperature than the
other(s) (i.e. a warmer air mass
meets a cooler air mass) or the
upwelling of air within a single mass.

•If there is no cooling of air ….it
cannot rain!

 Rain Before the Flood
No

•How do we know that it did not rain
before the flood?
•If the air was a relatively uniform
temperature due to the second
rotation and the greenhouse effect,
could this be why there was no rain?

•Warm air holds more moisture than
cold air.
•When the second rotation stops;
cold air, very cold air would have
developed at the north and south
polar regions.
•Result?
•Rain—Lots of it!

•The half-life of 14C is 5730 years.
•What would be the apparent age of
things that contained little or no 14C?
•Scientists are now saying that 14C
dating is only reasonably accurate
for ages of 50,000 years or less.

How much water?
Enough to cause massive rain for 40

would have had an effect similar to
the hyperbaric chamber.
•Could this explain how, enor-mous
animals with relatively small nostrils
and lungs were able to absorb


Change in Gravity

•Gravity is a function of mass. Any 2
masses will have a gravitational effect on
each other that is directly proportional to
the product of their masses and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance
between them. (The inverse square law)

*

What is Mass?

•The sun is much more massive
than the earth, so the earth is
affected more by the sun‘s gravity
than the sunthe affected by around the sun
is earth rotates the earth.
•Therefore.....
•The moon has much less mass
than the earth and so rotates around
the earth.

molecules of O2 per breath but the
surface area of its lungs allowed for
the transfer of 1,200,000 molecules
of O2 per breath under present
atmospheric conditions…

•…The surface area of the lungs is,
at that point, inadequate to supply
enough oxygen for all of the cells in

Causes for the Demise of the
Megafauna and Large Dinosaurs

i.The Flood
ii.Lack of sufficient O2 due to the
decrease from 35% to 21%.
iii.Decrease in Atmospheric pressure
and therefore a decrease in the
ability to absorb O2.
iv.Increase in gravity

i.Loss of habitat because of the
flood.
ii.Loss of food sources because of
the flood and competition for what
was available.

i. Hunting by man: before the flood
men were apparently vegetarian.
This is evidenced in two ways.
a)God gave Noah directions on
consumption of animal protein after
the flood.

 b) Animals became afraid of
man only after the flood.
(Genesis 9:2, 3)

i. General decrease in the
amount of food and habitat due
to the change in climatic
conditions, i.e. from subtropical
to temperate, sub arctic and
arctic.

 There is a class of animals that
never stops growing throughout its
life. ―But what else do we know of
reptiles and some other creatures
like fish? They keep growing and
growing as long as they live! D. R.
Peterson, p. 149 Unlocking the
Mysteries of Creation.

 ―Secondary centers of
ossification (bony epiphyses) are
lacking in the growing bones of most
modern reptiles, although they do
occur in many lizards. In mammals
such as man the fusion of these with
the main part of the bone in early
adult life sets a limit to the maximum
size attained.‖

now lives to
approximately 70
years, lived to an
average of more

old before the

Did Dinosaurs Live After the
Flood?

•Job
•When was the Bible written?
•How could they live after the
flood?
•What caused them to die?

 The Gradual Decline in O2
9.
Content from 35% to 21%
 The decline from 35% to 21%
oxygen content likely took
approximately 1000 years, to the
time of Joshua (d. 1377 B.C.) or
David (d.1010 B.C.) from 2345 B.C.

•The decline would have paralleled,
somewhat, the decline in age of the
patriarchs


What caused the decline?

 The decline was caused by the
very large decrease in the amount of
vegetation growing in the Arctic and
Antarctic to temperate regions.


Why was the decline gradual?
•The Flood caused the death of the
main Oxygen producers and
consumers; the plants and animals
and man.
•The rates of consumption and
production both fell


Preflood levels were still in the
atmosphere at 35% after the
Flood
•New vegetation grows
•Populations of animals and man
also grow
•So rates of consumption and
production rise postflood

 The colder climates in the
temperate to Arctic and temperate to
Antarctic regions prevented
tremendous amounts of postflood
vegetation from growing in those
areas.

 As O2 levels fall the large
dinosaurs and the megafauna go
extinct as their surface to volume
ratios reach points where the
decreased oxygen levels can no
longer support life.

•This is why Behemoth and
Leviathan lived during Job‘s lifetime.
•This is why the Bible writers knew
about dragons/dinosaurs (after the
flood).


Other factors

•Certainly other factors also affected
the decline of the megafauna and
large dinosaurs.
•Decrease in air pressure, increase
in gravity, increase in shortwave
radiation for example


Oxygen Decreases – Nitrogen
Increases
•At the same time that Oxygen levels are
falling to 21%, Nitrogen levels are rising due
to the death of plants, animals and man and
the decomposition of proteins and amino
acids.
•New equilibriums would have gradually
developed at 21% and 78% respectively.

11. Stopping the 2nd Rotation


Earth‘s second rotation stops

 Stopping the second rotation would
cause relatively sudden, very cold areas
at the present north and south polar
regions – rain, hail and snow, lots of it,
would begin to fall for the first time,
EVER. Enough to account for the 40
days and 40 nights of
rain in the
Middle East.

 In the six hundredth year of
Noah‘s life, in the second month, the
seventeenth day of the month, on
that day all the fountains of the great
deep were broken up, and the
windows of heaven were opened.
And the rain was on the earth forty
days and forty nights.
 Genesis 7: 11, 12.

What broke up the Fountains of the

● Could it have been earthquakes
and the shifting of the tectonic
plates
● What opened the windows (or
floodgates) of heaven?
●

 Relatively sudden cold north
and south, sudden enough to freeze
animals so that their flesh was
preserved, their eyes and red blood
cells were very well preserved and
the vegetation they ate was
preserved in their mouth.

•Stopping the rotation of the earth
with its large mass would have
caused catastrophic events
•The tectonic plates would shift
•Earthquakes would have taken
place
•Tidal waves would have
happened

•Water would have been forced up
from underground reservoirs
•Volcanoes would have erupted
•Mountains could have risen up and
Islands could have disappeared
•Hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes,
etc. would occur


The Fountains of the Deep

•As the fountains of the deep drained,
could land over them collapse?
•Mount Everest is (29,035 feet) 8,850
metres high, yet limestone and fossil
marine life has been found near the
top.

•Could flood waters have covered the
top of Everest at it‘s current height of
5 ½ miles above sea level?
•If Mountains were pushed up could
the level of the seafloor have
changed?

 If Everest and other mountains
were lower prior to the flood are
there other places that are lower
now that were higher then? (i.e. one
of the laws of physics: For every
action there is an equal and
opposite reaction.)

The Ice Age
•How and when did God dry up the
waters of the flood?
•And the waters prevailed on the
earth one hundred and fifty days.

 Then God remembered Noah,
and every living thing, and all the
animals that were with him in the ark.
And God made a wind to pass over
the earth, and the waters subsided.
The fountains of the deep and the
windows of heaven were also
stopped, and the rain from heaven
was restrained. Genesis 7:24-8: 1, 2.

•Strong wind dried the earth for 7
months! This wind caused the
evaporation of the water.

14. Other Things to Consider


Loess

 ―When materials finer than sand
are carried by the wind and are finally
dropped to earth, the deposit that
results is known as loess. Thick layers
of loess are found in Europe and the
Americas and loess deposits of Asia
reach a thickness of several hundred
meters. They are the basis for some of
the richest agricultural soils of the
world.‖ Encarta ‘97


Origin of Loess

 Aquatic Theory – Geologists at
one time thought that loess was laid
down by water and settled out during
times of large floods. However, land
snails and bones of land vertebrates
were found in loess so the theory was
largely abandoned.

•Aeolian Theory – in 1877, von
Richthofen came up with the theory
that the 330 meter deep sheets of
loess were carried there by
prevailing winds from the desert.
•What could account for the
tremendous amounts of loess found
around the world?

Creation‘s Tiny Mysteries

•The half-life of a radioactive isotope
is the time required for half of the
atoms in any collection to decay.

•If, for example, 1000 atoms exist
at a certain time, then only 500
will remain after one half-life.

 After two half-lives only 250
atoms of the original collection will
remain, and so forth. Half-life and
decay rate are closely related
quantities. Isotopes that decay
quickly have short half-lives; those
that decay more slowly have longer
half-lives.

 At present 238U is decaying very
slowly with a half-life of 4.5 billion
years.
